Looks way nicer than mine, turned out to be water damaged and I need to rebuild some of the boards.

There must have been a time
when we could have said no.
Come to think of it, it does resemble the old water/shock proof WalkmanThese days a CD player IS vintage. It doesn't have line in, usb, or Bluetooth... Its old school
I'd pop the lid off and check the speaker wires, I bet you have some broken solder joints or a bad amp chip in there.
Oh and as a side note, most of the chips on the amp board are Sony
.
I just get such a kick when someone calls a boom box with a CD player "vintage". :risas3:
Mine looks exactly like that, except the volume pentameter doesn't work so it is super quiet. But hey it is cool.
I didn't really know anything about the radio. I did some research, since then I have discovered someone has one and used a Bluetooth type setup (far beyond my level) to run the speakers and listen through it. I am just putting it with the Jeep collection.This radio does the same thing, and the worst parts is i don't JACK about electronics. It's sad because the radio is really neat and seems to be built pretty good on the outside at least.
WOW that's EPIC!!!! I think I will borrow this idea for my Jeep Boom Box. Only question is how did you wire the radio for power supply? 12V or 120V ?UPDATE! This radio has been on my shelf just collecting dust so i decided to do something about it. Here's the results...

@Shawn’s TJ I have a Bluetooth radio in the garage. Will have to work on this, I appreciate you posting the idea.
